Michael P. asks "which Catholic bishops have spoken out" -- as Bishop Tutu did in his March 12 Washington Post op-ed -- against proposed legislation in Uganda "that would make homosexuality punishable by life imprisonment."  I have not been following the issue closely, but I did a quick Google-search and came up with this item, dated two months ago:  "Ugandan Catholic Bishops Object to Punitive Emphasis in Controversial Anti-homosexuality Bill."  And, our own Robby George -- along with several other prominent "conservative" Christians -- denounced the proposed legislation three months ago, at about the same time the Holy See's representative at the United Nations did so.
